Magic's Jalen Suggs: Doesn't return Sunday
Suggs (leg) exited to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Knicks and didn't return. He finished with 17 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block in 32 minutes.
Suggs limped to the locker room after grabbing at his upper leg/groin area in the final quarter, though he returned to the bench shortly thereafter. The 24-year-old point guard's status will still be worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's NBA Cup game against Miami, and if he's unable to play, Anthony Black is expected to enter the starting five.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Leaves for locker room
Suggs exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent leg injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Suggs appeared to grab at his upper leg/groin area and was seen stretching before eventually checking out and limping to the locker room. It wouldn't be shocking if he doesn't return with the game nearing its end. Anthony Black is expected to pick up the slack if Suggs cannot return.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Won't return Sunday
Wagner sustained a lower left leg injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks and won't return. He'll be re-evaluated when the team returns to Orlando.
Wagner landed awkwardly on his left leg and was unable to put any weight on the leg while being helped off the court. He'll finish with seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across seven minutes. If the star forward is forced to miss additional time, Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard and Noah Penda are candidates for increased playing time. The Magic are expected to provide an update on Wagner's status ahead of Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup against the Heat by Monday night.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Helped to locker room Sunday
Wagner exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left knee injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Wagner landed awkwardly after going up for a pass and was unable to put any weight on his left leg while being helped off the court. It appears unlikely the star forward will return, and if he's unable to do so, Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard and Noah Penda are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way.

Magic's Moritz Wagner: Remains out indefinitely
Wagner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Wagner underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee in January and has yet to make his season debut. He can be considered week-to-week until the Magic provide an update on his timeline for a return.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Scores game-high 32 points in win
Wagner registered 32 points (12-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 106-105 win over the Heat.
Wagner had been struggling with his three-point shot in the three games prior, going just 1-for-6 from distance, but he was able to match his season high in triples Friday night. This was Wagner's second 30-plus-point performance of the season, and the Magic have now won four of their past five games.

Magic's Jalen Suggs: Scores 22 points with five dimes
Suggs closed Friday's 106-105 victory over the Heat with 22 points (9-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
Suggs has been hot over the past two games, posting averages of 23.0 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 triples and 2.0 steals per game. He'll draw a tough matchup against New York on Sunday, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep his hot streak going.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Scores nine points in return
Banchero (groin) amassed nine points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Friday's 106-105 victory over the Heat.
Banchero was a bit rusty in his first game back following a 10-game absence due to a left groin strain, but he hit some clutch shots down the stretch and finished with a plus-six differential in the win. He was limited to 20 minutes Friday, but Banchero should be cleared for more playing time Sunday in New York.

Magic's Tristan da Silva: Headed to bench
Da Silva will head to the bench for Friday's game versus the Heat.
With Paolo Banchero back in action and starting, da Silva will return to a role with the second unit where his value will dip. Through 12 games as a reserve this season, da Silva has posted averages of 10.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 triples per contest.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Will be limited Friday
Head coach Jamahl Mosley said Banchero (groin) will play on a minutes restriction in Friday's game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Mosley did not specify how many minutes Banchero would be limited to following his 10-game absence due to a left groin strain, though the star forward will seemingly be eased back into action. Still, his return will likely mean fewer minutes for the likes of Tristan da Silva, Jett Howard and Noah Penda. In his first 11 regular-season appearances, Banchero averaged 23.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 34.7 minutes per contest.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Will play Friday
Banchero (groin) is available for Friday's game against the Heat, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
Banchero will return to action Friday and make his first appearance since Nov. 12, likely sending Tristan da Silva to a bench role. In his first 11 games this season, Banchero averaged 23.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 34.7 minutes. However, the superstar forward may face some restrictions during his first game in nearly a month.

Magic's Paolo Banchero: Chance to return Friday
Banchero (groin) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Banchero hasn't played since Nov. 12 and had been limited to non-contact work as of earlier this week, but it appears he's nearing a return to game action. Even if Banchero is cleared to play Friday, he'll likely face heavy restrictions. In his first 11 games this season, Banchero averaged 23.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 34.7 minutes.

Magic's Anthony Black: Grabs seven boards vs. San Antonio
Black posted seven points (2-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 28 minutes during the Magic's 114-112 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.
Black entered Wednesday's game having averaged 23.0 points on 53.1 percent shooting over his three prior outings. He wasn't able to carry that efficiency into Wednesday's contest, but he was active on the boards with seven rebounds, which was second most on the Magic behind Wendell Carter (nine). Black continues to play heavy minutes off the bench even with Jalen Suggs' minutes steadily increasing over the course of the regular season. Over his last 10 appearances, Black has averaged 15.4 points, 3.6 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 threes over 29.4 minutes per game.

Magic's Franz Wagner: Team-high 25 points in loss
Wagner logged 25 points (9-17 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block over 36 minutes during the Magic's 114-112 loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.
It was another efficient night from the field for Wagner on Wednesday, as he finished as the Magic's leading scorer and second in points to San Antonio's De'Aaron Fox (31). Wagner had a chance to send the game to overtime, but his last-second layup attempt was blocked by Luke Kornet. In the Magic's last 10 games -- corresponding with the absence of Paolo Banchero (groin) -- Wagner has averaged 23.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 threes and 1.2 steals over 33.9 minutes per game.

Magic's Jase Richardson: Puts up eight points in loss
Richardson ended Wednesday's 114-112 loss to the Spurs with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes.
Richardson seems to have moved up in the depth chart, playing at least 10 minutes in his last three games and averaging 11.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 threes in that span. Time will tell if this role boost will last, but Richardson is definitely worth monitoring in deeper leagues, especially if an injury were to occur to Orlando's backcourt.

Magic's Goga Bitadze: All-around effort in loss
Bitadze accumulated eight points (4-4 FG), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 114-112 loss to the Spurs.
Bitadze has been a big part of Orlando's defense, posting a steal and a block in each of his last five games and in seven of his last eight. Bitadze averages 6.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.3 blocks across 16.9 minutes this season, making him an elite blocks specialist with potential to contribute in the points and rebounds categories as well.
